“Peace, love, empathy”

— Kurt Cobain

Queer Muslims deserve so much more recognition and adoration than they get. I hope you all know how absolutely worthy and important you are to the queer community!

hey wow, fuck you sid

hi i kinda disappeared but its just that my life is not that interesting so i don't have much to say!! anyway love this song! i relate

Non-cis hijabi muslim culture is others expecting you to stop wearing hijab because you're Genderqueer

no baby i believe you

I don't care if somebody was "born a man" or "born a woman"

We were fucking born as babies, I frankly don't care what you were "born to be," so long as you are happy in the here and now. That's what matters more, not this bioessentialist "you're born this way, and nothing you do or say matters more than how you were born"

i received some hateful words on Instagram from a fellow Muslim. the usual "oh you're not fasting for Ramadan? Don't be Muslim then." and also the usual "queer Muslims don't exist." I try not to let these things bother me. I ended up blocking this person because I really don't need that energy in my life. It just got me thinking.

I'll never be the "ideal" Muslim. Never. I'll never be able to pray 5 times a day. I'll never be able to fast for Ramadan (not because I don't want to. I do want to. I have health issues that prevent me from doing so.) I'll never be seen as valid because I'm queer. I'll never be able to give up certain spiritual practices i had in the past. I'll never be accepted by the general Muslim community.

And as much as I want to ignore all the people saying I can't be Muslim because of so and so, it makes me wonder if they're right. I'm trying my best.
